Ian makes it to level B in 100 meter BREAST STROKE


He did it at the most recent meet with the "new" team.  While he had to swim "unattached" he was able to secure a great non-DQ time (his first) in the breast stroke!!  Congratulations!!

Taste buds

There's no better way to get children to enjoy fine foods than to have them prepare said foods with peers in a fun environment while HUNGRY!!  Suddenly, they all LOVE butternut squash ravioli!!

Hybrid School fundraiser BBQ



Having dinner with Hybrid school at a fundraiser taking place at a local BBQ place.  Fun times!!!

Polymer Experiment

This was a "science experiment" whereby the children make natural polymer from egg white, baking soda, and vinegar (foam).  Afterwards we did a "modified shrinky dink" since the plastic is a polymer, and when heated, polymers try to retain the original [smaller] state, it works with almost any plastic.  So we took some gummies and melted down the back to tiny plastic (polymer) mini versions.
